Advertising Agencies Don’t Get SEO, Part 1 of a 2,000,000 Part Series

Let’s start this off by pointing out that it’s now April 2008.

In a recent 7 month study involving over three hundred brands, including the likes of Procter & Gamble’s Folgers and Pampers, it was learned that:

Google, Yahoo and MSN react differently to changes in content and inbound links.

Wow. Really?

It’s a good thing all that money was spent on a 7 month study of 300 brands in multiple languages to figure out something the SEO community has known since, oh, I don’t know, 1998.

SEO is something most little guys, even this little store in Austin selling cowboy boots (sorry, couldn’t pass up the link opportunity) understands well. SEO is not brain surgery. For that matter, SEO is not really even all that hard. It just requires effort beyond sending the work down the line to your AdWords buyer and making a few power points for the client.

Ad Agencies, please call your local SEO (just pick one, really) I don’t care if you hire them (or me) or not. Seriously. Just call them, ask a few questions. You might be amazed at what you learn.

It won’t even take 7 months.
